Shane Claiborne Quotes About War

Quotes about: War

• Maybe we are a little crazy. After all, we believe in things we don't see. The Scriptures say that faith is "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Heb. 11:1).

But what do they do with a church that teaches them to tiptoe through life so they can arrive safely at death?
